Re: Crash on SRF execution

Thanks Tom.

Assuming the SRF had a parameter, would this be a correct approach
(considering the iterative model) to bail-out early?

if (SRF_IS_FIRSTCALL())
{int i;if (get_call_result_type(fcinfo, NULL, &funcctx->tuple_desc) !=
TYPEFUNC_COMPOSITE) {	ereport(ERROR,	(errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),	 errmsg("Check if sql function definition returns SETOF
record")));			return;}
if (PG_ARGISNULL(0)) {	ereport(ERROR,	(errcode(ERRCODE_NULL_VALUE_NOT_ALLOWED),	 errmsg("Null value not allow for ...")));	 return;}	 if((i = PG_GETARG_INT32(0)) != 'WHATEVER') {	ereport(ERROR,	(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),	 errmsg("Null value not allow for ...")));	 return;}

Looks like you're pallocing some stuff in the calling context (ie, a
short-lived context) during the first execution and expecting it to still be
there in later executions.  You'd need to allocate those data structures in
the multi_call_memory_ctx instead.
